More quotes by Margaret Cho

That it is not the people who really feel that way, but it is people who have the most money to fire up these propaganda campaigns, these like, basically these lies that they are willing to lie to the public in order to manipulate them into doing what they want. And to me it doesn't make any sense.

Most conservatives also believe in the death penalty, but not abortion, which proves they like to procrastinate.
Margaret Cho
I love heavily tattooed women. I imagine their lives are filled with sensuality and excess, madness and generosity, impulsive natures and fights. They look like they have endured much pain and sadness, yet have the ability to transcend all of it by documenting it on the body
Margaret Cho
The intention is to make people laugh, to make people happy. It's unselfish, it's in the service of others, and as a comedian you are making yourself vulnerable in order to make others happy. And it has a transformative power.

Margaret Cho
I'm lucky that I have good genetics. Like you said, it just gets better as I get older.
Margaret Cho
I grew up a witness to gay politics in its early days. I remember seeing Harvey Milk and been moved by him.
Margaret Cho
[Fur] is really ridiculous. It's outrageous. We're not living in igloos. We don't need to trade pelts anymore. There is this diabolical idea that fur is fashionable. It's not. It's death. There's no excuse for it.
Margaret Cho
My history in show business spans over a quarter of a century, and I have seen many people in the industry struggle with coming out, only to find much more success after they finally did.
Margaret Cho
I don't like catchphrases either. A current one would be, Bye, Felicia. It's used so much that we don't even know the origin anymore.
Margaret Cho
I can never tell when something is funny. I just have to do it onstage and find out.
Margaret Cho
I think comedy is an angry art form it's an outsider art form. Anger and comedy are really connected. If I'm angry about something I will try to think about something funny about it to lighten the load of the anger and cope with the anger.
Margaret Cho
When people think the world of you, be careful with them.
Margaret Cho
